Clydeport, as an ex-pilot from one of the attacked units, I feel that I m qualified to comment. What others mean, is that if an aircraft was lost, next years costs would go up, so you WOULD end up paying the price. The next question of aircraft in or out? Of course we ALL want the aircraft out, but at what price? The leasing company would not provide a security team standing 24/7 next to the helicopter and that is the only option other than hangaring the asset. Unless of course, your constabulary would be prepared to provide a point guard. THAT, of course costs cold hard cash. It is not feasible for the crew to be next to it all day.
